It's great. My Feisty Fawn virtual machine is compressed to 2.36 GB from an 8 GB maximum size. It set this up automatically for me when I first made the virtual machine, and I didn't notice that it did it until I command +i'd on the virtual machine.

I guess it works just like Disk Utility's sparse image method for making disk images.
